Interesting parallel landing

To this mug punter, it looks like a very nice 2 point landing right astride the centre line in challenging conditions.

@jb747 , @AviatorInsight what would you give them out of 10 for the landing?
Zero. No attempt to remove the drift prior to touchdown, in an aircraft in which you've got a limit of 5º of drift at touchdown. Descent rate also doesn't look at all stable.

Whether I'd have done any better, well who knows. The further I get from the coughpit the better I was.
